In this video series, we take a deep dive with a maximally lowering LDL cholesterol through diet,

as LDL is the primary driver of our primary killer, and the lower the better.

We'll talk about expanding the portfolio diet, we'll talk about plant sterols, cholesterol-lowering supplements, foods, herbs, spices, you name it,

ending up with a Dr. Gregor in the kitchen type video where I share how to make this cholesterol-lowering powder.

You can sprinkle on foods.

Anyway, if you don't want to wait for each video to be released, I've compiled all the information into a brand new book available at nutritionfacts.org

slash books.

Of the top 10 take-home messages for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease,

take home number nine is that cholesterol

lowering statin drugs are considered the first choice drug treatment for preventing heart disease

and those with sufficiently elevated l-dial cholesterol. Those side effects, like muscle pain or

weakness, may impact up to a quarter of users. Regardless, whether you and your doctor decide to start drugs, the number one take-home message

is that the most important way to prevent heart disease, the number one killer of men and

women, is to promote a healthy lifestyle throughout life.

Enter the portfolio diet for the maximum reduction of LDL cholesterol.

There are three main addif factors in our diet that raise LDL cholesterol, trans fat, saturated fat, and dietary cholesterol.

Therefore, the tolerable upper intake levels of these three factors are essentially zero,

since any intake above zero increases LDL cholesterol concentration and therefore increases

risk of coronary heart disease. So trans fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol intake should be

as low as possible. That means cutting back as much as possible on meat, dairy, eggs, and junk.

And since partially hydrogenated oils must be removed from the U.S. food supply by law,

all these other uses have been banned.
